Applied Inorganic Materials and Catalysis
My primary research focus is on the design and synthesis of applied inorganic materials, particularly in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. I am particularly interested in the development of novel catalysts for oxidation processes, aiming to enhance efficiency and selectivity in chemical reactions. My funding projects, such as those investigating magnetic nanoparticles and their photocatalytic properties, exemplify my commitment to exploring innovative materials that contribute to green chemistry and sustainable practices.
Photochemical Processes for Environmental Applications
To advancing methodologies that harness photocatalysis for environmental remediation, particularly in the treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and wastewater. My recent work on photocatalytic water splitting and the degradation of organic pollutants aligns with global efforts to address environmental pollution challenges. By leveraging my expertise in nanomaterials, I aim to explore new photocatalytic systems that effectively harness solar energy for sustainable water treatment solutions.
Bio nanotechnology
My work on the development of metallic /organic nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles emphasizes my commitment to utility in medicinal chemistry. I explore the intersection of inorganic chemistry and pharmacology, focusing on the synthesis of nanoparticles that can deliver anti-cancer/ anti- inflammotory drugs effectively. This research not only aligns with therapeutic applications but also emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing complex biomedical challenges.
Environmental Inorganic Chemistry and Atmospheric Studies
environmental inorganic chemistry, particularly the characterization of urban atmospheric conditions in the Middle East. Understanding the chemical composition of particulate matter and its implications for public health is crucial. To conducting studies that inform policy and contribute to the development of strategies to mitigate pollution and enhance air quality in urban environments.
Biomimetic Metabolic Enzymes
My interest extends to biomimetic systems, where I investigate how metabolic enzymes can inspire the design of new catalytic systems. This research not only enhances our understanding of natural catalysis but also paves the way for the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly synthetic pathways for drug delivery and other chemical processes.
